front leathers, b b, of the pads B. To the rear surface of the leather O is stitched the leather E. Between the upper edge of the leather E and the leather D the leather which forms the pad B is bulged outward at F to form a cushion, F', which serves to protect the horses throat and prevent him from being choked, which is the principal object of niyinvention.

By the construction described the collar is also made very strong and at the same time iiexble at the bottom, so that it can be easily passed over 'the horses head for putting the collar on and removing it.

Having thus described my invention, 'whatI claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

A horsecollar formed with two intermediate pieces, C D, at the bottom of the collar, in combination with the cushion F, and backingpiece Efsubstantiall y as and for the purposes set forth.
